📅 September 23, 2022 👤 Libor Šmejkal, Jairo Sinova, T. Jungwirth 📖 Physical Review X 📊 914 citations

🤖 Plain-English Summary

Magnetic phases are traditionally ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic.

🔑 Key Findings

  • An analysis of spin symmetries reveals a third phase, dubbed altermagnetism, that opens new fronts in magnetism and spintronics research.

💡 Why This Matters

This work deepens our understanding of the fundamental laws governing the universe, from subatomic particles to cosmic structures.
